scratchDC

I was VERY stoked last week to try out scratchDC,
a District-based business delivering bundles of pre-measured,
pre-chopped, and pre-marinated ingredients for two - organic and
locally-sourced, and with an accompanying recipe - to order. I chose the
Chicken Schawarma from the weekly-rotating menu
(to which I added the half-can of chickpeas that, besides a tupperware
container filled with paper-mâche glue, was the sole occupant of our
refrigerator), and we paired it all with a glass of my husband's homebrewed IPA.
It went over big. Like, BIG big.
As a household whose work
hours often creep well into the late evening (leaving juuuuuuust enough shopping energy to grab a bottle of wine from the corner market) but to
whom takeout feels like, well, FAILURE - scratchDC satisfied both time
constraints and the urge to cook at home. WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER.
